On Friday, 15 November at 5 p.m., Johannes Säre will open his solo exhibition “Drills and Ladders” in the large gallery of the Tartu Art House.
The exhibition is Johannes Säre’s first solo show after a seven-year creative break. It focuses on the artist’s experiences during that period as an art technician.
The starting point of the exhibition revolves around the mishaps, successes and musings from that time on life, death and art broadly.
Säre continues to employ the dark humour characteristic of his earlier work but it is now directed towards the artist himself.
Johannes Säre (b. 1983) is an installation artist and an art exhibition technician. He graduated from the Estonian Academy of Arts with a degree in photography. Säre has participated in exhibitions both in Estonia and abroad since 2008. He is a member of the board of the Estonian Museum of Contemporary Art and belongs to the Estonian Artists’ Union. In 2014, Säre received the Köler Prize people’s choice award.
